For anyone who donates to SIA between today and 10th Dec, your donation is doubled. Help us support, advocate and campaign for the 100,000 people living with Spinal Cord Injury in the UK and their families and loved ones.
More than twice as many people as we previously thought need specialist spinal cord injury care. With the The Big Give, you can make your donation go TWICE as far. Please donate today to make a massive difference this Christmas. #ChristmasChallenge

Really looking forward to chairing @thebarcouncil's online event: 'Disability Inclusion: neurodiversity at the Bar' at 1730 today: expert presentation from @HelenEatonASC then a brilliant panel including Helen, @ndin_law trustee Alice de Coverley (@Grays_Ink) and Oliver May. The Bar Council's Pupil Survey 2024 indicated that chambers may struggle to apply Reasonable Adjustments for neurodivergent pupils. The event is aimed at those supervising and supporting neurodivergent pupils and colleagues, and will help pupils with what they can expect from chambers. If you have not already, book your free place here: #neurodiversity #neurodiversityinlaw

It was an absolute pleasure to host @spinalinjuries Gunpowder Ball, especially in our 50th anniversary year. It was a privilege to share my personal story with guests and to introduce legendary SIA SCI Specialist Nurse Carol Adcock, someone who has helped me alongside so many others. She brought home why the first goal of SIA’s Strategy 2030 is a health and care system that works for people with SCI. Thank you to our event supporters and sponsors and to everyone who donated and bid on the night – we couldn’t do it without you. Thanks finally to our incredible staff for making it such an amazing evening and making SIA such a brilliant and impactful charity. It is an honour to be on the Board this last half decade. #SIA #SpinalCordInjury #SCI #GunpowderBall2024 #Make50Matter
